Switch Memory and Configuration
Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes
If configuration changes requiring a reboot have been made, the switch
displays an asterisk (
*) next to the menu item in which the change has been
made. For example, if you change and save parameter values for the Maximum
VLANs to support parameter, an asterisk appears next to the VLAN Support entry in
the VLAN Menu screen, and also next to the Switch Configuration … entry in the
Main menu, as shown in Figure 6-6:
Reminder to
reboot the switch
to activate
configuration
changes.
Asterisk indicates
a configuration
change that
requires a reboot
in order to take
effect.

Web: Implementing Configuration Changes
You can use the web browser interface to simultaneously save and implement
a subset of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch.
That is, when you save a configuration change (in most cases, by clicking on
[Apply Changes] or [Apply Settings] , you simultaneously change both the running­
config file and the startup-config file.
N o t e If you reconfigure a parameter in the CLI and then go to the browser interface
without executing a
write memory command, those changes will be saved to
the startup-config file if you click on [Apply Changes] or [Apply Settings] in the web
browser interface.
